Will the car get flooded in heavy rain?
1 Answers
Heavy rain will not flood the car. Here is the relevant information: 1. Waterlogged sections: If the engine stalls during vehicle wading, immediately turn on the hazard lights, shut off the engine, and turn off the ignition. Never attempt to restart the engine, as doing so can easily cause fatal damage to the engine and will not be covered by insurance. 2. When stationary: If the vehicle is submerged while parked in a basement or parking lot, lock the vehicle and do not attempt to start the engine. Try to seal the vehicle as much as possible and do not remain inside the flooded car. After the vehicle is submerged and the engine stalls, the interior becomes the most unsafe. If the water level rises rapidly and the doors cannot be opened or closed, passengers may become trapped inside and suffocate after the vehicle loses power.
